1.4 Factors That Gave Rise to the Modern Pentecostal Movement

[Jessica]

I believe Jesus is the source.

When we share the gospel, it should be of Him and the way we have hope through His crucifixion.

Talking about spiritual gifting to a new believer, and them not fully understanding God’s all powerful greatness, may distract and cause confusion for them.

First Jesus, and the basics, then all else should fall into place.

1) I believe this was said as people often want to focus on and talk about the most sensational aspects of life, in this case, that would be the speaking in tounges that occurred. Although this was a significant event in these individuals’ personal spiritual journey, it would negate the source of this prayer. The point of the meetings was not to pursue signs and wonders, it was to pursue Jesus and the rest was simply just a sign he was present.
